For clarification: He petitioned for it in 2012 and was awarded the trademark in 2015, according to CNN.

The trademark was a business decision. And that's problematic? I will watch the hearings this weekend, if I find the time.

Hell, ask @Sloane or @Love Spent what "Make America Great Again" actually means and I doubt they, both of who voted for Trump, would even agree
However, it has a nice ring to it, like Hope did in 2008, and voila, you got yourself a new POTUS Actually Trump 'borrowed' that phrase from Regan. He trademarked it in 2015.
It means whatever you want it to mean. Just like Hope and Change. As you alluded to.

I didn't post this guy Garrison's entire lifes work. I saw his work for the first time today, this cartoon I posted, and it felt relevant to our current predicament.
And besides, aren't MSNBC/CNN/NYT ect. unbiased? Or...
Hence the term 'Mainstream Media'. As in, the majority of people get their news from them, right? Or at least they used to.
Check out current ratings for CNN, MSNBC, FOX...they are in the toilet. All TV/print news really. Hence the dinosaur reference. People have moved on and their monopoly on news distribution is done. That is the reason I posted it.
Edit the pic to include Fox or whatever where the dino's asshole should be and call it a day!

You are correct in that I partially don't agree with your point of view. But I'm not sure you understand what I don't agree. I will try to clarify it.
I completely understand and respect your disdain for the Trumpster, he is vile. What's to disagree there? Is he going to "save" America and "make it great" again? I wouldn't bet on it. So we do have something in common.
However, I am not going to inundate my Facebook, Twitter, Madonnation, whatever, with over the top anti-Trump rhetoric because I believe it's counterproductive in our current environment. He was elected even though I did not vote for him. What else can be done? Impeach him? Well, it will probably happen. What can I do as a citizen at this time? I could protest. But protest against what? His election? He won it. What else to protest? Should I protest because he is not morally admirable? Yes, but everyone already knows that. What would that accomplish?
I will be the first one to voice disagreement with any of his policies that I believe are not for the benefit of the nation. So far all I can do is dislike some of his picks for his cabinet. Mr. Exxon and Mr. Sessions leave A LOT to be desired and I hope that the vetting continues. Am I convinced that it will work? I'm not sure. Then what? What can I do? Whine? What I can do is have level headed conversations with people surrounding me about how I believe this corporate approach to diplomacy may not be a great approach. And if someone disagrees with me, I will not suddenly label them Trump admirers.
Ultimately what can really be accomplished if no one consciously attempts to stay neutral amidst this political polarizing of America? Labeling people that consider themselves neutral as Trump supporters is just going to alienate them in my opinion. And I firmly believe that the democrats are doing themselves no favor by labeling every Trump voter as a supporter of bigotry, homophobia, etc.
So, I disagree with you regarding the absence of neutrality when it comes to Mr. Trump. My disagreement with your opinions have more to do with style than substance. I think I did undermine your view that the US will become another Russia and that Trump will set us back 20 years because I seriously disagree with both stances. And I really fail to see how that makes me suddenly a Trump supporter.
Most of my discussions on this forum were regarding how he won the election by winning the blue collar vote in the Rust Belt, how our media created him and ironically lost its credibility with the masses because of it and how scary it is to have journalists that are so clearly biased on both sides of the spectrum.
I am not afraid of voicing my opinion when I think it can make a difference. I don't see the need to keep repeating how awful the guy is because everybody knows it. You may continue to label me whatever you want though. Just be careful of who you label your enemy because you may find yourself surrounded by people that won't challenge you.
Relax. Better days will come.
While I can't sign on to all of it, it's refreshing to see such a cogent analysis. Why is this kind of attitude in such short supply these days?

Speaking of Jill, did she run off with the millions donated to her to recount every vote?
I was just looking that up as you posted! Twins, I tell ya.
They spent 1 million on 'admin costs' and I read she netted 2 million when all was said and done.
@impr3ssive_instant She will forever be 'Jill Failed Recount Stein '. Lol

I wouldn't say everyone is just worried about the piss. It's just that it's such an easy thing to joke about so it's everywhere. The real worry is the other stuff that the report claimed.
They wouldn't release it because it's unsubstantiated. They could have said that the report existed without publishing details before anything is properly vetted. But like I said, I think they have to believe at least some of it can be verified.
I agree. This is journalism 101, no?

1. Everyone jumped on the unverified story of Clinton suffering from debilitating seizures, including Trump's team. That was perfectly fine.
2. Trump singlehandedly spread the story of Obama not being born in America, which Fox News reported on. 100% unverified. That's perfectly fine.
Republicans are the fucking worst. I hope his entire time in office is spent fighting off ridiculous rumors. Karma is a bitch, Trump.
The Clinton campaign STARTED the 'birther movement'. Manager was later fired. To save face of course.
Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle admitted on Twitter and in a cable interview Friday that a Clinton staffer had indeed spread the rumor that President Barack Obama was born outside of the United States.
The admission came after a heated exchange Friday afternoon with Ari Fleischer, George W. Bush’s former spokesman, who was pressing Ms. Doyle for the truth that Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 campaign was responsible for creating a whisper campaign in the press that Mr. Obama was ineligible for the presidency.
Ms. Doyle told Mr. Feischer it was a “lie” that the campaign spread the rumors, but then admitted in the same tweet a 2008 staffer had indeed sent an email spreading the birther conspiracy.

omg at the end where he says his sons will be "fired" with that whole apprentice finger pointing thing was the cheesiest shit ever
The U.S. is officially being run by a celebrity reality TV personality.
I'm afraid to watch it now.
I do wish he'd stop tweeting about petty stuff. Update us on job creation matters etc but the rest is just a waste of time.

This is epic trolling/Shitposting by 4Chan.
They created a ridiculous piece of Fan-Fiction, rebranded it with a CIA letterhead, gave it Rick Wilson/John McCain, then gave it to BuzzFeed who actually published it.

You've been grasping at straws for months trying to justify why you made the "right choice" on Nov 9th.
Btw.....politically motivated or not, that type of rhetoric and behavior is what Trump displayed, promoted and thrived off of his entire campaign. YOU made this choice. Remember that!
Kurt are you by chance a teacher?
You don't need to wag your finger in my face again saying, 'You'll regret this!' As if I'm the rebellious student and you're the wise sage. We are simply two adults with a difference in opinion. I made a choice you didn't approve of. Convince us with evidence because attempting to public admonish me isn't going to work. Would it change your mind if it was done to you?
We've agreed in the past on certain issues, in this thread even, and we will again find common ground in the future. It's all good. 🙂
If posting topical news stories( ie Facebook torture case) is forbidden, that should be clearly communicated, for all to see,to prevent future confusion.
Now back to topic..

Well said @billiejean. I suspect there is an element of self hatred mixed in with the hypocrisy. A truly toxic combo. The celeb reaction, or should I say non reaction, doesn't affect me in the least. It's the regular folks you have to watch out for.

im wondering why Trump is having problems accepting Russia helped him to win the election.... How ungrateful! And Putin shouldn't be so shy about it. It would make perfect sense if both admitted to it. Guess they're careful in not blowing their cover which is pretty scary.
They have eight years to get cozy. Don't rush it.

I can't wait.
And Chris you are correct. I did infer this was political motivated based on the statements the attackers made. SO FAR, the evidence doesn't support that but it's a developing news story.
Was the motivation because he's disabled? Because he's white? Because of political affiliation?
One or all of the above constitute a hate crime, based on the current evidence.

Well if this woman in Texas and you say it's fact then I'm convinced. I've seen the light!

Yikes Kurt, that's quite a revealing post.
Alluding to some sort of violent insurrection to remove newly elected President in order to get your way, are we? Go ahead and deny it but it's obvious. Keep posting stuff like this cause the internet is forever.
I truly hope the new admin will compromise with the Democrats and find some balance in the years ahead. Not as a response to threats but because it's the right thing for the country as a whole.
